The "quick upgrade" at PSA and Compass is for those with 1000 hours of 121 time or close. The "quick upgrade" will not come to those with 0 hours since a lot of pilots will upgrade below them, making their upgrade prospect worse.

If you have an ATP it won't cost much to get current. The majors will want you to get up to speed at a regional since a lot has changed operationally and in the aerospace system, etc. Then you will be competitive again. You're in a better position than you think. Don't do anything to compromise your finances, there's no need.

It would seem your blinding hatred for all things PSA has made you bring us up needlessly again. Didn't you already start an entire thread to spread your misinformation?

If you have 0 121 time, you can't upgrade. It will only be "quick" for those with 1000 hours of 121 time. Meaning those with 0 121 time are looking at a much longer upgrade time as those junior to them upgrade over them.

It will be quick for 0 121 and same day for prior 121.

Yet what your selling aren't facts at all. It's pure misinformation. Our leases aren't up until starting in 2018 going well into the 2020's. IF AAG wanted to rid itself of its 50 seat feed why would they take them from one of their lower cost regionals? Whiskey certainly costs more and dare I say the 50 seaters at both Piedmont and Envoy cost more as well... We aren't having trouble staffing in the least bit. Still filling classes. The "quick upgrade" for those with the prior 121 will continue into next year. New hires thereafter can expect a 2 to 3 year upgrade (which is still great). There is movement off the top and new FOs have to sit reserve for maybe 3 months. Is it so hard for you to accept that things aren't so bad here? Oh that's right, your too busy spreading misinformation and making yourself look foolish.

Training? What training are you considering paying for?
Go get 5-10 hours in a Frasca sim, hit the books for a couple weeks, and every regional out there will be begging you to come to class.
Train to proficiency and 100+ hours of IOE if needed are the new standard. (And very few need anything extra.)
